angel of doom in a boiler suit

On Thursday a man from the gas company came around to do the annual check on the boilers in our building. While working on our boiler he broke a part in behind the washing machine, which didn't invite confidence. Today it rained in our kitchen when the girl upstairs did her laundry, presumably because the gas company guy didn't reconnect the pipes properly. Then, a few hours after the water had all been mopped up, our boiler - the boiler which was just checked and ostensibly given a clean bill of health - broke down and now we have no hot water or heating until at least Wednesday. (I should add that it's -6 outside right now.) How can one man cause so much chaos? Better he had not come at all. And why, oh why didn't I have the prescience to wash my hair this morning before all hell broke loose?

I am already tired of 2008.
